Is she going to share with the families of the others who died in that crash? Bet not . She doesn’t have enough from her husband. Shame on her!!!!!!!!!!
Cara Christin
I’m certain that she will do the right thing and split the settlement with the surviving families after legal fees.
All ima say is she won in life. 18 years old, no education, married right out of high school, husband cheated and she could’ve left and took half but she was crazy enough to stay took a $4MM upgraded wedding ring, then he died and she got the entire bag!!! My heart goes out to her though cause she lost her daughter.
